Writer. Feminist. Historian. Person.
It’s miserably hot (again) in Florida, so I hibernated inside today. I was skimming through some photos and found this from a recent trip up north. It brought back memories of my youthful summers in the Midwest. August had a different feel back in the day 😉 It inspired the haiku (or maybe it’s a haibun) below.
Tassels Touching Blue
That Summer Gone Forever
August In My Mind
before evenstar
after the glow of the day
life’s final flicker
Thanks for the inspiration to Sadje at Keep it Alive.
Variations on a Theme Always say yes even when you mean no Never say I won’t when told it’s time to go Never raise your voice when told you have no choice Always choose the right path even when you have no voice Always stay the course as you walk that chosen path Never show the world your barely buried wrath Always be you Never be you
Thanks to Sammi for the inspiration and the word limit (67). It kept me from going on and on and on …..
in the calm, he waitsÂ
as petulant clouds concede
yielding to the lightÂ
Thanks to Word of the Day Challenge (petulant) and Your Daily Word Prompt (concede) for the inspiration to help me get back into writing.
